9/11 attackers on radar in '00? - (Clinton knew??..)

Of course he "knew". Clintoon was too worried about stains on dresses and soggy cigars.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Boy am I SHOCKED. Shocked I tell you.

[mtbopfuyn]

Any bets Gorelick knew?

[rintense]

What did Clinton know, and when did he know it?

[kittymyrib]

That was why Jamie Gorelik was put on the 9/11 Commission, to keep evidence incriminating the Clintoon administration out of the report. Since she was responsible for the "wall" between FBI and CIA investigations, no doubt to keep nosy agencies off the trail of all of Clinton's foreign contributors, she also had a personal interest in deflecting that feckless committee. God bless Congressman Weldon for bringing this to light. He'd better watch his back...

Pursuing this would have "disenfranchised" a certain segment of the NY voters instrumental in Hillary's Senate win.

[Dallas59]

Only Monica knows for sure.

[putupjob]

Makes you wonder exactly what was stuffed down the pants of Sandy Berger.

[SunTzuWu]

Sharing intel with law enforcement is the main thrust of the Patriot Act, and the thing the left seems to fear the most.

[johnny7]

Not from me.

[rintense]

Of course the left's spin will be that Bush also had access to these documents and did nothing to stop the attacks.

[Moose4]

OK, I'm no Bubba-lover, but let's be fair about this. The article says that the recommendation went to the SOC to send this info over to the FBI, and somebody in the SOC said no. That doesn't mean that Beezlbubba necessarily knew anything, or that he was the one that shot this down; I'd be highly surprised if it ever got anywhere near him.

What it DOES mean, however, is that the people that Clinton put into positions of power, the ones that enforced the "wall" between intelligence-gathering arms of the government--including that biatch Gorelick on the 9/11 Commission--screwed the pooch far, far worse than we thought. THAT, he can be held responsible for.

Hi, Jet. Thanks for the ping. Did we know this before?

[gov_bean_ counter]

I would imagine that operation was shut down shortly after the the request for information transfer was denied.

[patj]

Do you suppose that this is some of what Sandy Berger was taking?

[Jet Jaguar]

I cannot recall now. I think this is new.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Gorelick was the Roadblock.

The Able Danger memo?
